Feel free to join the Silicon Valley group too!

heyy. So looks like bowser and quixote are about the same size. They look so similar too! So did you just adopt another pup???

Hello to my brother Bowser! Woof! Hope everything is going good up there in san jose. Post some pictures soon, Id love to see how bowser has grown!!

hi thanks for the happy new years!

Just curious... How big is bowser now? weight wise, height and etc...

I think she may be small for her age but im not quite sure. She is a little over 20 pounds now, about 21 or 22. She still has such alittle puppy head!

 

Hello there!. How old is Bowser now? Toby is 4 months old. How often do you go to shoreline park?

 

You have a smart little one!! Now I feel left behind lol She is still learning her name

I agree on the puppies turning out awesome! Yours is too cute and very smart. How old was Bowser when you started to train him to do tricks?

by the way.., did you train bowser to do all those tricks yourself? Or did you guys put him in a puppy training class as well?

Its definitely fun to watch them change colors. How is Bowsers teeth coming along? Quixote has lost almost all her regular baby teeth. I was able to find one and keep it in a baggy for her puppy album ahah. She is yet to lose her baby canines though, the doctor said that will happen in about a month.

Hey Jonathan, Bowser is quite impressive with is tricks. He is miles ahead of Tucker in that catagory at the moment, haha. However, Tucker's rightear is now up since this morning. He is a very late bloomer. :P

Hey hey, we are doing good. Oct. 1st Tucker recieves the last of his puppy package. Which includes parvo, so I can finally relax and take him wherever I like. Last vet visit he wieghed in at 13lb 3oz.
Tucker was potty trained quickly. I crate trained him, never tried the potty patch, though many people reccomended it. He also has a 10ftx10ft pen in the living room which I am able to leave him by himself 2-4 hours at a time with out me worrying about him having an "accident".
I never got around to taping his ears. He has one up and one down. At this point I doubt his right ear will stand up. Which is fine, he just earned a new nickname, Lefty, haha.

That was a good idea.  I'll start doing the same for Quixote and see if that makes nail filing any better for her :) 

Hi there! Quixote just had her last DHPPC yesterday. As well as Bordetella, and Rabies! Poor puppy had a ruff day, two shots, a nasal spray, nail clippings, and nail files. She doesnt like getting her nails filed for some reason, she flipped out yesterday! She growled and barked and even showed her teeth to the VET, I almost thought she was going to bite him! Has bowser ever gotten like that before?? I couldnt believe how upset she was at the nail filier! Oh my. Besides that shes doing greeeat! We just got back from a trip to oregon and washington, which Quixote looveed. We stayed at a family members ranch and she got to run for acres and acres, she loved it. Ill put up some photos of Quixotes trip soon. How is Bowsers behavior, potty training, biting etc?

I havn't put too much time into tricks yet. Tucker can sit, lay down, come, and stay.

Thats exactly what I use! My grandma uses it for her dogs and it works like a charm. Tuckers left ear is now up, and I'm hoping his riht will go up soon fter now. I don't think I'll end up taping it, but at the very least I'll wait a few more days.

wow.... this is really a coincidence... quixotes favorite treats are Zukes chicken filets.... out of all the treats in the world we happened to buy those and our pups love them the most!

Quixote is afraid of water bottles! I actually just started using them as a way for her to stop biting me ahah when I squeeze a water bottle she gets scared and flees away. She is a raptor at this point, because loud voices do not scare her away from biting me. It just makes her want to bite more. the only thing thats working is the water bottle, or just consistency at best... Ignoring her when she is biting mode etc. Hopefully the raptor will calm down soon lol! Besides that shes the greatest little pup ever

Thanks for the tips! Lily learned sit and down right away, and she's good at staying (mostly) and coming when called (sometimes!), but I'd kind of like to teach her some cute tricks, like shake, roll over, etc., so I'll check out the sites you mentioned. Give Bowser a hug for us!

Ya, I've read quite a bit on taping the ears. I don't want to do it, but I don't want to wait too long or else they may never stand up. It seems from what I've read that people tend to wait around the 14th week at the latest, and seeing that the litter is turning 13 weeks tomorrow I'm taking that option much more seriusly. I've been using yogart as a calcium source, and I've also been massaging his ears everyday.
